For the next week I will collect suggested bids (please mail) for the following
ten hands. Comments are encouraged. After this time I will post top scores,
frequency of bids for each hand, interesting comments made on any bid, and
points awarded for each bid. Please refrain from discussing these hands over
the net until this time. Assume standard American bidding. You may make any
conventional bid you desire. In the best interests of the contest, I feel
its best not to divulge the scoring system. Rest assured that it is fair.
However I will consider any other suggested methods. By the way, these are
all actual hands. But each hand did result in an argument/discussion.
